Yet, it is not well understood how biochemistry of these initial interactions relates to subsequent events that orchestrate phage adsorption and tail rearrangements to initiate cell entry. For many phages, long O\&\#8208;antigen chains found on the LPS of smooth bacterial strains serve as essential receptor recognized by their tailspike proteins (TSP). Many TSP are depolymerases and O\&\#8208;antigen cleavage was described as necessary step for subsequent orientation towards a secondary receptor. However, O\&\#8208;antigen specific host attachment must not always come along with O\&\#8208;antigen degradation. In this issue of Molecular Microbiology Prokhorov et al. report that coliphage G7C carries a TSP that deacetylates O\&\#8208;antigen but does not degrade it, whereas rough strains or strains lacking O\&\#8208;antigen acetylation remain unaffected. Bacteriophage G7C specifically functionalizes its tail by attaching the deacetylase TSP directly to a second TSP that is nonfunctional on the host's O\&\#8208;antigen. This challenges the view that bacteriophages use their TSP only to clear their way to a secondary receptor. Rather, O\&\#8208;antigen specific phages may employ enzymatically active TSP as a tool for irreversible LPS membrane binding to initiate subsequent infection steps.}, language = {en} } @misc{BreuerNowakIvakovetal.2017, author = {Breuer, David and Nowak, Jacqueline and Ivakov, Alexander and Somssich, Marc and Persson, Staffan and Nikoloski, Zoran}, title = {System-wide organization of actin cytoskeleton determines organelle transport in hypocotyl plant cells}, series = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America}, volume = {114}, journal = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America}, publisher = {National Acad. of Sciences}, address = {Washington}, issn = {0027-8424}, doi = {10.1073/pnas.1712371114}, pages = {E6732 -- E6732}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @misc{BalkGrijpmaLendlein2017, author = {Balk, Maria and Grijpma, Dirk W. and Lendlein, Andreas}, title = {Design and processing of advanced functional polymers for medicine}, series = {Polymers for advanced technologies}, volume = {28}, journal = {Polymers for advanced technologies}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {1042-7147}, doi = {10.1002/pat.3980}, pages = {1203 -- 1205}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @misc{BrechunWoolleyArndt2017, author = {Brechun, Katherine E. and Woolley, Andrew and Arndt, Katja Maren}, title = {A Bacterial Bandpass Assay for Protein-Protein Interactions}, series = {Protein science : a publication of the Protein Society}, volume = {26}, journal = {Protein science : a publication of the Protein Society}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {0961-8368}, pages = {198 -- 198}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @misc{Lenhard2017, author = {Lenhard, Michael}, title = {Plant Development: Keeping on the Straight and Narrow and Flat}, series = {Current biology}, volume = {27}, journal = {Current biology}, publisher = {Cell Press}, address = {Cambridge}, issn = {0960-9822}, doi = {10.1016/j.cub.2017.10.030}, pages = {R1277 -- R1280}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @misc{SchellerSakarDasdan2016, author = {Scheller, Frieder W. and Sakar Dasdan, Dolunay}, title = {Selected papers presented on the 2nd International Conference on the New Trends in Chemistry, Zagreb, Croatia, April 19-22, 2016 Preface}, series = {Bulgarian chemical communications : journal of the Chemical Institutes of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and of the Bulgarian Chemical Society = Izvestija po chimija}, volume = {48}, journal = {Bulgarian chemical communications : journal of the Chemical Institutes of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and of the Bulgarian Chemical Society = Izvestija po chimija}, publisher = {Bulgarian Academy of Sciences}, address = {Sofia}, issn = {0324-1130}, pages = {4 -- 4}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @misc{MaierHolzloehnerHoenowetal.2016, author = {Maier, Natalia and Holzl{\"o}hner, Pamela and Hoenow, Anja and Scheunemann, Astrid and Weschke, Daniel and Hanack, Katja}, title = {Characterization of monoclonal antibodies generated by in vitro immunization}, series = {The journal of immunology}, volume = {196}, journal = {The journal of immunology}, publisher = {American Assoc. of Immunologists}, address = {Bethesda}, issn = {0022-1767}, pages = {2}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Monoclonal antibodies are highly valuable tools in biomedicine but the generation by hybridoma technology is very time-consuming and elaborate. In order to circumvent the consisting drawbacks an in vitro immunization approach was established by which murine as well as human monoclonal antibodies against a viral coat protein could be developed. The in vitro immunization process was performed by isolation of murine hematopoietic stem cells or human monocytes and an in vitro differentiation into immature dendritic cells. After antigen loading the cells were co-cultivated with naive T and B lymphocytes for three days in order to obtain antigen-specific B lymphocytes in culture, followed by fusion with murine myeloma cells or human/murine heteromyeloma cells. Antigen-specific hybridomas were selected and the generated antibodies were purified and characterized in this study by ELISA, western blot, gene sequencing, affinity measurements. Further the characteristics were compared to a monoclonal antibody against the same target generated by conventional hybridoma technology. Isotype detection revealed a murine IgM and a human IgG4 antibody in comparison to an IgG1 for the conventionally generated antibody. The antibodies derived from in vitro immunization showed indeed a lower affinity for the antigen as compared to the conventionally generated one, which is probably based on the significantly shorter B cell maturation (3 days) during the immunization process. Nevertheless, they were suitable for building up a sandwich based detection system.

To investigate this further, camelid nanobodies were generated by phage display and selected against the short isoform of GP2 in order to isolate specific tools for the discrimination of both isoforms.

Over time, riding techniques and the style of riding improved. Therefore, horses with the ability to perform comfortable gaits (e.g. ambling or pacing), so-called 'gaited' horses, have been highly valued by humans, especially for long distance travel. Recently, the causative mutation for gaitedness in horses has been linked to a substitution causing a premature stop codon in the DMRT3 gene (DMRT3_Ser301STOP) [1]. In mice, Dmrt3 is expressed in spinal cord interneurons and plays an important role in the development of limb movement coordination [1]. Genotyping the position in 4396 modern horses from 141 breeds revealed that nowadays the mutated allele is distributed worldwide with an especially high frequency in gaited horses and breeds used for harness racing [2]. Here, we examine historic horse remains for the DMRT3 SNP, tracking the origin of gaitedness to Medieval England between 850 and 900 AD. The presence of the corresponding allele in Icelandic horses (9th-11th century) strongly suggests that ambling horses were brought from the British Isles to Iceland by Norse people. Considering the high frequency of the ambling allele in early Icelandic horses, we believe that Norse settlers selected for this comfortable mode of horse riding soon after arrival. The absence of the allele in samples from continental Europe (including Scandinavia) at this time implies that ambling horses may have spread from Iceland and maybe also the British Isles across the continent at a later date.}, language = {en} } @misc{XiangHofreiterZhao2015, author = {Xiang, Hai and Hofreiter, Michael and Zhao, Xingbo}, title = {Reply to Peng et al.: Archaeological contexts should not be ignored for early chicken domestication}, series = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America}, volume = {112}, journal = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America}, number = {16}, publisher = {National Acad. of Sciences}, address = {Washington}, issn = {0027-8424}, doi = {10.1073/pnas.1502207112}, pages = {E1972 -- E1973}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @misc{XiangGaoYuetal.2015, author = {Xiang, Hai and Gao, Jianqiang and Yu, Baoquan and Hofreiter, Michael and Zhao, Xingbo}, title = {Reply to Peters et al.: Further discussions confirm early Holocene chicken domestication in northern China}, series = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America}, volume = {112}, journal = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America}, number = {19}, publisher = {National Acad. of Sciences}, address = {Washington}, issn = {0027-8424}, doi = {10.1073/pnas.1503956112}, pages = {E2416 -- E2416}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @misc{Boernke2014, author = {B{\"o}rnke, Frederik}, title = {The complex becomes more complex: protein-protein interactions of SnRK1 with DUF581 family proteins provide a framework for cell- and stimulus type-specific SnRK1 signaling in plants (vol 5, 54, 2014)}, series = {Frontiers in plant science}, volume = {5}, journal = {Frontiers in plant science}, publisher = {Frontiers Research Foundation}, address = {Lausanne}, issn = {1664-462X}, doi = {10.3389/fpls.2014.00693}, pages = {1}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @misc{NikoloskivanDongen2011, author = {Nikoloski, Zoran and van Dongen, Joost T.}, title = {Modeling alternatives for interpreting the change in oxygen-consumption rates during hypoxic conditions}, series = {New phytologist : international journal of plant science}, volume = {190}, journal = {New phytologist : international journal of plant science}, number = {2}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Malden}, issn = {0028-646X}, doi = {10.1111/j.1469-8137.2011.03674.x}, pages = {273 -- 276}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @misc{PokornySharmaGoyaletal.2011, author = {Pokorny, Ina and Sharma, Reeta and Goyal, Surendra Prakash and Mishra, Sudanshu and Tiedemann, Ralph}, title = {MHC class I and MHC class II DRB gene variability in wild and captive Bengal tigers (Panthera tigris tigris) (vol 10, pg 667, 2010)}, series = {Immunogenetics}, volume = {63}, journal = {Immunogenetics}, number = {2}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {0093-7711}, doi = {10.1007/s00251-010-0496-2}, pages = {121 -- 121}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @misc{NathanHorvitzHeetal.2011, author = {Nathan, Ran and Horvitz, Nir and He, Yanping and Kuparinen, Anna and Schurr, Frank Martin and Katul, Gabriel G.}, title = {Spread of North American wind-dispersed trees in future environments}, series = {Ecology letters}, volume = {14}, journal = {Ecology letters}, number = {3}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Malden}, issn = {1461-023X}, doi = {10.1111/j.1461-0248.2010.01573.x}, pages = {211 -- 219}, year = {2011}, abstract = {P>Despite ample research, understanding plant spread and predicting their ability to track projected climate changes remain a formidable challenge to be confronted.

The alpha-type PI4Ks (similar to 220 kDa) contain a PH domain, which is lacking in beta-type PI4Ks (similar to 120 kDa). beta-Type PI4Ks, exemplified by Arabidopsis AtPI4K beta and rice OsPI4K2, contain a highly charged repetitive segment designated PPC (Plant PI4K Charged) region, which is an unique domain only found in plant beta-type PI4Ks at present. The PPC region has a length of similar to 300 amino acids and harboring 11 (AtPI4K beta) and 14 (OsPI4K2) repeats, respectively, of a 20-aa motif. Studies employing a modified yeast-based "Sequence of Membrane- Targeting Detection'' system demonstrate that the PPC(OsPI4K2) region, as well as the former 8 and latter 6 repetitive motifs within the PPC region, are able to target fusion proteins to the plasma membrane. Further detection on the transiently expressed GFP fusion proteins in onion epidermal cells showed that the PPC(OsPI4K2) region alone, as well as the region containing repetitive motifs 1-8, was able to direct GFP to the plasma membrane, while the regions containing less repetitive motifs, i.e. 6, 4, 2 or single motif(s) led to predominantly intracellular localization. Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression of PPC-GFP fusion protein further confirms the membrane-targeting capacities of PPC region. In addition, the predominant plasma membrane localization of AtPI4Kb was mediated by the PPC region. Recombinant PPC peptide, expressed in E. coli, strongly binds phosphatidic acid, PI and PI4P, but not phosphatidylcholine, PI5P, or PI(4,5) P-2 in vitro, providing insights into potential mechanisms for regulating sub- cellular localization and lipid binding for the plant beta-type PI4Ks}, language = {en} } @misc{Gzik1997, author = {Gzik, Axel}, title = {Gef{\"a}ßversuche zur Beurteilung von Korrelation zwischen Standortfaktoren und vitalit{\"a}tsbestimmenden Stoffwechselparametern in charakteristischen Pflanzenarten typischer Feuchtwiesengesellschaften.}, year = {1997}, language = {de} } @misc{Kehr2005, author = {Kehr, Julia}, title = {Untersuchungen der Proteine in den Langstreckentransportsystemen h{\"o}herer Pflanzen}, address = {Potsdam}, pages = {45 Bl. ; graph.

The quantification of this effect was portrayed as a novel finding. I put this result in the context of three other publications from as early as 1980 that quantified photodegradation. My synopsis shows that photodegradation is an important process in semi-arid grasslands in South America, North America and eastern Europe.}, language = {en} }
